Biden endorsing Harris

Very interesting times

Pretty sad how stupid people are all around these days

That’s a good analogy, since before Trump was threatening to shank Ukraine if they didn’t make up some dirt for him, and now he’s threatening to shank Ukraine if they don’t give in to his good buddy Vladimir

It’s not virtue you ‘tard. It’s that a stronger global economy is better for the United States

Not really in the way you’re probably thinking. I mostly support it as a goal (though the whole “equity” thing is obviously problematic). But not when forced upon folks

I agree, but like I said, when you see things as zero sum it’s hard to trust and have faith in that. Which is exactly the division Trump seized on. He knows globalization is good and he isn’t gonna do anything to really change it. But he saw an opportunity to convince people that somehow America wasn’t being “put first” because other countries were being allowed to improve their lot. It’s similar to global warming. Trump and all the republicans know we have to do something about it. But they can score political points by stoking anger and fears over it, so they do. It’s bad faith but that’s been the Republican Party for quite a while now. The Birther movement, though, that was something different. A bridge too far. As were 2016 and January 6

All of them have had very heavy volume over their careers. Red flag for sure

Then who was the supposed DEI hire y’all were railing against? Doesn’t even matter anyway huh? Color me shocked

Back to the topic of the thread: Manchin called for Biden to drop out. Another big name

There is a big aspect of globalization here, of course. The idea is to lift up other countries. People who see it as a zero sum game feel like that means America is “losing,” because when the poor countries improve their lot, that means the gap between them and America narrows. I think it’s a really narrow-minded view, but that’s conservatism for you. In my opinion, a rising tide lifts all boats and when standards are improved around the globe that’s good for everybody. We don’t have to try to keep other countries down to build ourselves up. Of course then there was outright racism and anyone denying that is full of sh1t. The Birther movement, with Trump as its champion, was probably the greatest racist movement we’ve seen since integration. Yeah that’s why the guy is a focking piece of sh1t.

Harris is in a tough spot. Can’t be seen as backstabbing Biden. But on the other hand, when you blindly insist that everything is fine, obviously that hurts your credibility

That’s good. I don’t buy the racist “DEI hire” garbage, but it was obviously a huge fock up, and the buck stops there

Well you’re free to believe whatever you want, but I can tell you that’s not what did it for me. Sure I knew he was 80 and not as vigorous as even ten years ago but I thought he was still with it. SOTU earlier this same year he did pretty well so I figured he still had it. Then I realized that, like most dementia patients, he apparently has good days and bad. And the bad are not acceptable for a president, and will only become more frequent. Even if he could win this year, he shouldn’t. Now neither should Trump, but I was never ever going to vote for him anyways.

Is this like Netflix and chill where we’re actually just fockin?

It’s actually Trump’s exact proposals that we implemented in the 20s. Huge tariffs on everything, cut taxes to next to nothing. And, of course, deregulation

He is who he is

Pathetic

A lot of it is in here: https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf Of course, there was 2016 and his other impeachment as well. But I dunno. He’s probably gonna win so just gonna have to hope for the best I suppose

My issue with Mixon was he was terrible last year. Pure volume saved him. I get it, Houston should be a better offense, and he’ll still get volume there. I can nearly talk myself into it. But I think production matters

How are you excluded from this?

I don’t think so. Sure there’s some element of the media wanting ratings, but really it’s that people think Biden will lose and, quite frankly, should lose. There is absolute no question that he cannot make it to 86 as POTUS and really, time probably already ran out.

And now it’s trannies. Is it that they love ch1cks with d1cks or that they want to be one?

And he finally beat Medicare!
